Synopsis

Two cultures and two world views – German and Slavic – meet when German adventurers discover the cultural and natural wealth of our region, as well as love. Even though their fascination almost costs them their lives because of recklessness, intellect does prevail in mastering nature that offers the winners resources for a higher quality life.

Although German, this is also the first feature-length sound film with our language – in the melodies by Josip Štolcer-Slavenski, as well as in the dialogue.

About the director
